TriCaster to be used to produce and web stream 2008 All-Star Game radio shows

NewTek Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading video and 3D animation products, today announced that Knockout Digital Media has chosen TriCaster™ portable live production system to produce and web stream the ESPN Radio All-Star Game radio shows in New York City to ESPNRadio.com. The July 14 and 15 web streams will give the world’s sports fans live access to Mike & Mike in the Morning from Grand Central Station from 6-10am and to Tirico and Van Pelt from Mickey Mantle’s restaurant from 1-4pm.

“TriCaster is allowing us to give live access to the events surrounding the last All Star Game to ever be played at Yankee Stadium, with a savings in cost, space and time,” said Gil Chavez, President of Knockout Digital Media. “The online presence of this day in baseball brings the ESPN Radio fans another opportunity to be part of the excitement.”

“Space is a premium when you are broadcasting live from venues like Grand Central Station or Mickey Mantle’s restaurant,” said Philip nelson, NewTek SVP of Strategic Development. “The portability of TriCaster is allowing Knockout Digital Media to web stream from both venues without expanding their radio broadcasting footprint.”
